00:00Our investigation into the death of 78-year-old Anne Widdicombe has continued to develop over the past 24 hours.
00:06Shortly after 9pm, on Saturday 11th July, a 28-year-old white British man was arrested at an address in
00:14Rotherham, South Yorkshire, on suspicion of the murder of Miss Widdicombe.
00:21We were supported by officers from Counterterrorism Police North East and South Yorkshire Police, who carried out the arrest on
00:28behalf of Devon and Cornwall.
00:30Miss Widdicombe's family have been informed of the update and continue to be supported by our specialist officers.
00:37Our thoughts remain with her family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.
00:43At this point, there is still no information to suggest that this is a terrorism-related incident, and at this
00:49point we are not looking for anyone else in connection with this murder.
00:53We retain primacy of this investigation, and detectives remain open-minded about the potential motive.
01:01At this stage, there is nothing to suggest that it was politically motivated.
01:05What happens in Rotherham, they payboy and carne and praises.
01:05What do we do?
